New England clam chowder is a creamy, soul-warming soup that's a staple from Boston to Maine. At just 82 kcal per 100g, it's surprisingly light while delivering 4.5g of protein. The real nutritional star is vitamin B12 (5.4mcg per 100g) from the clams — that's over twice the daily value — plus a solid iron boost (2.8mg). Potatoes give it body and contribute 8g of carbs. The cream base adds richness without overwhelming the briny clam flavor. Sodium runs high at 580mg, so enjoy it in moderation. Traditionally served in a sourdough bread bowl, it pairs perfectly with oyster crackers or crusty bread.
